Definitions

  • an object of this invention is to provide a wear ring for a truck bolster center plate that may be easily secured and held in position.
  • FIG. 1 is an end view, partly in cross section and with certain parts removed, of a railway truck that incorporates the novel wear liner described herein;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the wear liner
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view through section line 3-3 in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of a portion of the truck of FIG. 1, showing the wear lining in position between the mating center plates of the car and truck;
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view of the detail encircled in FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 is a plan view of the center plate area of the bolster, showing the wear lining after being welded in position.
  • FIG. 1 shows a railway car truck 10 supporting a car body 12.
  • the car truck 10 comprises a pair of spaced side frames 14 supported upon wheel and axle assemblies 16, the wheels of which assemblies travel on rails 11.
  • a truck bolster 18 having a center plate 19 extends between side frames 14 and is supported near its ends on spring groups, indicated diagrammatically at 20, within the side frames.
  • the car body 12 is supported on a car bolster 22 having a center plate 24, which rests on the center plate 19 of the truck bolster 18.
  • Side bearings 26 having pads 28 are mounted adjacent opposite ends of the truck bolster l8 and are engageable with bearings 30 on the car bolster 22.
  • the wear liner 32 is located within the truck bolster center plate l9, and may be best understood by reference to FIGS. 2-6. As shown in FIG. 2, the wear liner 32 'is in the general form of a split ring that is continuous around its circumference except for a gap 34 therein. When viewed in vertical section, as shown in FIG. 3, it may be seen that the ring has a regular cylindrical inner surface 36 and an outer surface 38 that is tapered outward from the top to the bottom.
  • the ring is preferably formed of a high carbon r lled steel having a manganese content of l ll4 percent and a hardness of -245 Brinell.
  • the ring 32 is fitted within the circular recess 40 of the bolster center plate 19 around the periphery thereof and is attached to the interior vertical wall 42 of said center plate.
  • the interior wall 42 of the center plate is machined to be inclined outward from top to bottom at about the same angle as the taper of the ring surface 38.
  • the ring 32 is then inserted into the recess 40 and expanded to a maximum extent so as to abut the interior annular 42 around its entire circumference.
  • the ring is then welded at the gap 34 to the interior annular wall.
  • a railway vehicle including a car body supported upon a car truck by means of mating center plates on respective bolsters thereof, the center plate of said truck including a circular recess therein having an interior annular wall, and the center plate on the bolster of said body being circular and carried within said recess, the improvement comprising a circular wear ring disposed within said recess and surrounding said body center plate to prevent wear on said interior annular wall, said interior wall being inclined outward from top to bottom, said ring having a gap therein and having an outer surface tapered outward from top to bottom complementary with said interior wall, said ring being expanded at said gap to abut said interior annular wall about its circumference and being welded in expanded position to said annular wall in said gap.
